The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere

It is an open-source library for fast LLM inference and serving. It delivers up to 24x higher throughput than HuggingFace Transformers, without requiring any model architecture changes.

Integrated developer tools; open, portable images; shareable, reusable apps; framework-aware builds; standardized templates; multi-environment support; remote registry management; simple setup for Docker and Kubernetes; certified Kubernetes; application templates; enterprise controls; secure software supply chain; industry-leading container runtime; image scanning; access controls; image signing; caching and mirroring; image lifecycle; policy-based image promotion
State-of-the-art serving throughput; Seamless integration with popular HuggingFace models; Continuous batching of incoming requests; Optimized CUDA kernels

What are some alternatives to Docker, vLLM?

LXD

LXD

LXD isn't a rewrite of LXC, in fact it's building on top of LXC to provide a new, better user experience. Under the hood, LXD uses LXC through liblxc and its Go binding to create and manage the containers. It's basically an alternative to LXC's tools and distribution template system with the added features that come from being controllable over the network.

LXC

LXC

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

rkt

rkt

Rocket is a cli for running App Containers. The goal of rocket is to be composable, secure, and fast.

Vagrant Cloud

Vagrant Cloud

Vagrant Cloud pairs with Vagrant to enable access, insight and collaboration across teams, as well as to bring exposure to community contributions and development environments.

Grok-1

Grok-1

It is the base model weights and network architecture of Grok-1, the large language model. Grok-1 is a 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model trained from scratch by xAI.

Google Gemini

Google Gemini

It is Google’s largest and most capable AI model. It is built to be multimodal, it can generalize, understand, operate across, and combine different types of info — like text, images, audio, video, and code.

LLaMA

LLaMA

It is a state-of-the-art foundational large language model designed to help researchers advance their work in this subfield of AI.

Whisper

Whisper

It is a general-purpose speech recognition model. It is trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and is also a multi-task model that can perform multilingual speech recognition as well as speech translation and language identification.
